Figure 1.

Quantitative intrarenal mRNA expression within grafts that suffered from early acute AMR or TCMR. Filled boxes represent TCMR, blank boxes AMR, and stripped boxes combined AMR/TCMR. The results are expressed as the ratio of the gene of interest to the housekeeping gene HPRT. The box plots show 25th and 75th (boundaries of boxes), 50th (median), 10th and 90th (error bars) percentile values. *P < 0.05; **P < 0.01. Samples for gene expression analysis were obtained before the antirejection therapy.
